Friends of the Earth were called racist and all sorts of things yesterday by the keyboard warrior contingent for supporting the Black Lives Matter protest at City Airport. Facts may not be very good at changing people’s minds but we are not yet so deeply into a post-factual society that we shouldn’t at least consider them. Here’s an honest to God, straight up and down fact: We have just witnessed a record-breaking 14 consecutive months of the hottest global temperatures ...

Who are these people who are dying, and who is responsible? It’s the greatest injustice of climate change, that those who are the least responsible for causing the climate crisis, are the first to suffer. The poor, the marginalized, the indigenous communities are on the frontline—and they are overwhelmingly people of color in developing countries. And where it is richer, more developed countries dealing with wildfires, such as those in Australia, the U.S. or the floods in Europe, they invariably have more resources to deal with the impact ...

Engineering the Software for Understanding Climate Change
But if people of color don't know enough science and technology to criticise the physics of 9/11 isn't that racism against ourselves? How can you claim to understand the physics of climate if you can't understand a skyscraper? Is this just taking some White people's word when they don't all agree?

Doesn't Climate Change involve science and technology on multiple levels? But if people of color don't know enough science and technology to criticize the physics of 9/11 isn't that racism against ourselves? How can you claim to understand the physics of climate if you can't understand a skyscraper? Is this just taking some White people's word when they don't all agree?

In the question below, more than just people of color are committing racism against themselves, as you say ...

"But if people of color don't know enough science and technology to criticize the physics of 9/11 isn't that racism against ourselves?" ​

According to the video's presenter, every other people group also, commits racism against themselves.

To these questions:

"How can you claim to understand the physics of climate if you can't understand a skyscraper?

Is this just taking some White people's word when they don't all agree?"​

We cannot understand the physics of climate until society faces the important question pertaining to: "the other part of the system," were impact leads to changes in public opinion ... not ill informed discussion."

No, this isn't just taking the word of some white people, its the word of scientists that have reached agreement on us having taken control of the planet, thus mismanaging and destabilizing the earth's natural system.

All of this now requires a strong sense of urgency, which is to say,
a need for "Software for Global Collective Decision making."
